You may need oral and maxillofacial surgery if you experience persistent jaw pain, difficulty opening your mouth, an impacted tooth causing swelling or infection, a visible jaw misalignment, or facial trauma from an accident.
Wisdom tooth extraction is the most common reason patients are referred for this type of surgery, typically when the tooth is impacted, growing at an angle, or causing pain to neighboring teeth.
Treatment begins with a detailed examination and imaging to assess the exact position of teeth, bone, and surrounding structures. Based on the findings, our surgical team explains the recommended procedure, the anesthesia options available, and what to expect during recovery.
Most oral and maxillofacial procedures are performed with local anesthesia or sedation, depending on the complexity of the case, and patients are given clear aftercare instructions to support healing.
